[TheForge] Mastermyr disposition

They have many Scandinavian artifacts including a full scale Viking ship 
that  was built in Minnesota and sailed/ rowed back across the Atlantic to 
Oslo .

There are two  knife making classes next week, but these are already filled.

On the knifemaker's list a year or two ago, I remember talk of  attending 
an  old time knife making
class taught by a Norwegian knife maker in  Decorah, Iowa  at the 
Vesterheim Museum.

The  Mastermyr Collection  might find an excellent home in Iowa and still 
be available for traveling to regional / local blacksmith chapter events.
